I don't know why GB did not sell at the peak (1600, then 1400) but this is already great. If it sold at the peak then the profit would have been insane.

Why did I tweaked? Because market's bleeding (Btc $9.3k to $11k in a day). I changed candles to 5 and SMA period to 20 to get in and get out as fast as possible just for profit. After all for GB users, I think we're all traders, we're here for quick profit, we're not investors to buy and hodl.
My honest review:I'm using GB XT 6.0.1. GB is a great tool (current version 6.0.2 - I'm lazy to update).
It's just 7 days since I first bought my license, 4 days since I started the GB trades (I couldn't make it trade for 3 freaking first days...)
To be honest I need to babysit it like everyday, change to safe strategy before I get to bed. I'm still making great profits while the market hurts, that's almost impossible if I trade manually because I could not watch 90 pairs I'm running. Watching 3 5-min charts is already a PITA but this is 90 pairs.
I did get plenty of bags but that was when I was researching strategies. Now I rarely get bags because I mostly set GB to jump in, jump out for micro profits (~1%).
Afterall GB is awesome for those who know what you're doing. You should have at least basic knowledge about trading like SMA, EMA, BB, RSI and stuff. If you're doing well with manual trades with your strategy, you can scale it up automatically with GB. Like you're doing great on 5 pairs manually, then you can do it on 100 pairs automatically with GB.
Running GB efficiently is quite a learning curve. I have decent knowledge about computer stuff (used to be a webmaster/programmer/marketer) but it took me 3 days to run GB - most likely the fault is on my side because I did not RTFM carefully. So I have a few things to sum it up for new users to save some time:
- RTFM. Word by word. Then read it again.
- Play with your settings. Play with different strategies to understand how it works. You can do backtesting with allanster's scripts on TradingView. He's a legend!
- Only do 1 pair/1 instance, otherwise you'll miss a shitton of opportunities. Use Zeno GUI to do it for you or run @tandyuk gblauncher script.
- Do NOT scale on a bunch of pairs if you don't know what you're doing. You'll end up holding heavy bags in a matter of minutes.
- Split your budget for more chances. Say you have 1btc, you want to run 100 pairs, make TRADING_LIMIT 0.01 or you'll miss a lot of opportunities while holding bags.
That's it for my contest entry. Keep gunnin' guys!

Thanks for sharing the details information. It is comforting to find out that it is not only me who is struggling to make the BOT to make the first purchase. I understand programming, but not TA.
Do you think you can help me out to with the configuration make the BOT do the right thing? I am willing to make it up for your effort.
